Package: pida Version: 0.5.1-5 Severity: normal Tags: upstream Pida uses (by default) http://pida.co.uk/RPC2 to fetch plugins. The problem is that pida does not use the http_proxy env variable to use a web proxy. pida tries to contact the web site directly. That does not work in my case since I am behind a firewall and must use a http proxy.
I guess a piece of code is missing in /usr/share/pyshared/pida/services/plugins/plugins.py Something like from http://gdsuf.phys.ufl.edu:8080/releases/gridcat/gridcat-client/bin/gcatc.py #try: proxies = os.environ['http_proxy'] #except KeyError: proxies = 'None' #if proxies=='None': # server = xmlrpclib.ServerProxy(xmlrpcservice) #else: # server = xmlrpclib.ServerProxy(xmlrpcservice, transport=ProxyTransport(proxies)) #server=None try: proxies = os.environ['http_proxy'] except KeyError: proxies = 'None' if proxies=='None': server = xmlrpclib.Server(arg) else: server = xmlrpclib.ServerProxy(arg, transport=ProxyTransport(proxies)) -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.27-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages pida depends on: ii libatk1.0-0 1.22.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.8.6-2 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libglib2.0-0 2.18.4-2 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.14.7-4 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libpango1.0-0 1.22.4-2 Layout and rendering of internatio ii librsvg2-common 2.22.2-4 SAX-based renderer library for SVG ii python 2.5.4-2 An interactive high-level object-o ii python-central 0.6.11 register and build utility for Pyt ii python-glade2 2.12.1-6 GTK+ bindings: Glade support ii python-gnome2 2.22.0-1 Python bindings for the GNOME desk ii python-gtk2 2.12.1-6 Python bindings for the GTK+ widge ii python-gtkhtml2 2.19.1-3.1 Python bindings for the GtkHTML 2 ii python-kiwi 1.9.22-1 a graphical framework to construct ii python-pkg-resources 0.6c9-2 Package Discovery and Resource Acc ii python-vte 1:0.16.14-4 Python bindings for the VTE widget ii vim-gnome [gvim] 2:7.2.130-1 Vi IMproved - enhanced vi editor - pida recommends no packages.
